he didn't whack boehner or make a distinction between democrats and republicans. he sort of vaguely -- he attacked the vague congress, but at the end of the day, it's quite clear he can bring a lot more democrats to the table who are willing to compromise, maybe give on issues they don't want to give on than boehner can. so it's not even a congressional problem. it's a house republican problem. and think at some point in time the president is going to have to change his message a little bit to make that abundantly clear to those americans who are listening. >> you know, i hear your frustration and criticism with speaker boehner. a part of me feels sorry for him. >> i wish i could. >> i linger under the belief that president obama and speaker boehner in a room together could cut a deal. i think boehner can't crow his colleagues. >> well, yes rk, that's true an i've heard that sympathy for boehner and that's true, but on the other hand, leaders are able to solve problems an he hasn't been able to solve it at all. >> as a fallback plan to protect the middle class, re

by contrast, boehner's plan b pegs that threshold at $1 million a year. it also drops the $1,000 child tax credit for families who don't earn enough to pay federal income taxes. and, it would let an expansion of the college tuition tax credit expire. republicans argued both those provisions were to have been temporary anyway, under the president's original stimulus package. initially, boehner's plan did nothing to stop across-the-board spending cuts that take effect in the new year, under the fiscal cliff's mandates. but today, republican leaders offered a companion bill to replace $55 billion in automatic cuts to defense spending. those would be swapped out for additional reductions in domestic programs. house majority leader eric cantor predicted both measures would pass. >> we hope that the sate ll take this bill up along with the spending reduction act and get the job done in lieu of or absent any kind of agreement coming from the white house. we are again, taking concrete >> brown: some republican members, such as tim huelskamp of kansas, still had s
